She had been a constant inspiration as leader of the Commonwealth in the face of monumental global challenges over the decades that she had been at the helm.
“As the people of the United Kingdom and members of the Commonwealth mark the occasion of the 70th anniversary of her ascension to the throne, my wife, Lordina, and I join the people of Ghana and well-wishers across the globe to offer Her Majesty our warmest congratulations and best wishes for her continued good health”.
